A horse to transport the grapes –
not for show as after heavy rain a horse can where a tractor cannot

Julien, who has taken over the vineyards on the retirement of Catherine and Didier

Catherine and Didier may have retired from running the Clos Roche Blanche 
but the name lives on thanks to the T-shirt of Claire – Catherine's daughter.

Terra Laura: Cheverny

Laura Semeria and her Romorantin – ready to pick later this week.
